Overall Fund Structure and Objectives The City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System (the “System”) exists to pay benefits to its members and retirees. Active members earn service credit that entitles them to receive benefits in the future. Benefits currently being paid are significantly greater than contributions currently being received. The excess of benefits over contributions must be funded through investment income. The public capital markets represent the primary source of investments.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

GASB Statement No. 67 Implementation

As of January 1, 2014, the System was required to adopt Governmental Accounting Standards Board GASB Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans, which significantly revises existing guidance for the financial reports of most governmental pension plans. GASB Statement No. 67 introduces significant changes to the timing and manner in which the actuarial valuation is performed, including changes to how the discount rate is calculated for accounting purposes. In addition, significant new note disclosures and required supplemental information schedules are now required. Asset Allocation The System has established asset allocation policies that are expected to deliver sufficient investment income over a very long period of time to satisfy the obligations to pay the benefits promised to the members of the System. The following is a summary of the adopted asset allocation (excluding the collateral pool) as of December 31, 2014:

Domestic equities 55% Domestic fixed income 20% International equities 15% Basket Clause Category Securities 10% Cash 0%

Investment Results In December 2013, the Federal Reserve began to ‘taper’ its extraordinary bond-buying program and made its last asset purchase in October 2014. This program - known as quantitative easing or QE - was intended to provide a boost to economic growth. However, with weak year-over-year economic growth - 2.2 percent for 2013 and an estimated 2.4 percent for 2014 - and inflation stubbornly below their target of 2 percent, the Federal Reserve has continued to provide support to the economy by keeping its interest rate near zero. Inflation expectations could be reduced further by the 40 percent decline in the price of oil that occurred in 2014. In spite of this, the dollar strengthened against all major foreign currencies as investors still expect a rise in U.S. interest rates sometime in the third or fourth quarter of 2015. The fixed-income markets posted positive returns for the year; the Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Index returned 5.97 percent for the year. The Standard & Poor’s 500 returned 13.69 percent and the MSCI EAFE Index (a proxy for international stocks) was down (4.9) percent. The total plan returned 6.44 percent for the year.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

Plan Sponsor Financial Condition/Plan Update

The City of Pontiac (the plan sponsor) is experiencing significant financial difficulty. The City was placed in receivership under Michigan Public Act 436 of 2012. The receivership ended in mid-2013 and an administrator (overseen by the Transition Advisory Board) was appointed to supervise the City until such time as fiscal authority is returned to the City’s elected officials. The effects of the 2013 mayoral and council elections on the City’s finances should be minimal as a result. The System is currently overfunded and no employer contributions are required at this time. Should a contribution be required in the future, there is uncertainty regarding the City’s ability and intent to make contributions to the System.

Contacting the System’s Management This financial report is intended to provide a general overview of the System’s finances and investment results in relation to actuarial projections. It shows the System’s accountability for the money it receives from employer and employee contributions. If you have questions about this report or need additional information, we welcome you to contact the System’s office at 2201 Auburn Road, Suite B, Auburn Hills, MI 48326.

Notes to Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2014

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The City of Pontiac (the “City”) sponsors and administers the City of Pontiac GeneralEmployees’ Retirement System (the “System”) (a contributory single-employerretirement plan) that covers substantially all employees and retirees of the City, exceptpolice and fire employees and retirees.

Reporting Entity - The financial statements of the System are also included in thecombined financial statements of the City as a pension trust fund. The assets of thepension trust fund include no securities of or loans to the City or any other relatedparty.

Plan Sponsor Financial Condition - The City of Pontiac (the plan sponsor) wasexperiencing significant financial difficulty. In early 2013, the City was in receivershipunder Michigan Public Act 436 of 2012. The result was that the state had appointed anemergency manager to control the finances of the City. As of the end of fiscal year 2013,the City was no longer under receivership and is now governed by a transitionaryadvisory board. The System is currently overfunded and no employer contributions arerequired at this time.

Basis of Accounting - The System follows accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America (GAAP) as applicable to governmental units. Accountingand financial reporting pronouncements are promulgated by the GovernmentalAccounting Standards Board.

The System’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.Plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions aredue. Employer contributions are recognized when due pursuant to legal requirements.Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with theterms of the plan.

Methods Used to Value Investments - Investments are reported at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities tradedon a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price atcurrent exchange rates. Mortgages are valued on the basis of future principal andinterest payments and are discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar instruments.The fair value of real estate investments is based on independent appraisals or auditedfinancial statements. Investments that do not have an established market value arereported at estimated fair value as determined by the System's management. Theseestimates are determined using financial statements issued by the private equitycompanies or limited partnerships in which such investments are held, adjusted bymanagement as deemed appropriate based on known circumstances.

Notes to Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2014

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Approximately 11 percent of the System's assets are not publicly traded, and thereforedo not have a readily determinable market value. Because these alternative investmentsare not readily marketable, their estimated value is subject to uncertainty, and thereforemay differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready marketfor these securities existed. The difference could be material.

Note 2 - Implementation of GASB Statement No. 67

The System adopted GASB Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans,during the year. The statement establishes standards for financial reporting that outlinethe basic framework for separately issued pension plan financial reports and specifies therequired approach to measuring the liability of employer and certain nonemployercontributing entities, about which information is required to be disclosed. As a result ofthe implementation of GASB Statement No. 67, the System's financial statements nowinclude new disclosures and required supplemental information focused on the City'stotal and net pension liability.

Note 3 - Pension Plan

Plan Administration - The System's board administers the City of Pontiac GeneralEmployees' Retirement System Pension Plan - a single-employer defined benefit pensionplan that provides pensions for substantially all permanent full-time general employeesof the City of Pontiac, except police and fire employees. Benefit terms have beenestablished by contractual agreements between the City of Pontiac and the variousemployee union representation; amendments are subject to the same process.

The board of trustees consists of 11 members - a member of the City Council to beselected by the City Council, the mayor of the City of Pontiac, the finance director ofthe City of Pontiac, three members appointed by the City Council who are not eligibleto receive benefits under the retirement system, one active member of the Systemelected by the active members, three member trustees elected by active, deferred, orretired members, and one hospital member (could be deferred vested member orretired member) of the System who was formally employed by Pontiac General Hospitalelected via an election conducted by the hospital.

Plan Membership - At December 31, 2013, pension plan membership consisted of thefollowing:

Retirees and beneficiaries 1,132Inactive plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 261Active plan members 32

Notes to Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2014

Note 3 - Pension Plan (Continued)

Benefits Provided - The System provides retirement benefits as well as death anddisability benefits. Employees may receive cost of living adjustments as a percentage oftheir retirement allowance, pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement oremployment agreement in effect at their date of retirement. The obligation tocontribute to and maintain the System was established by City ordinance andnegotiation with the employees’ collective bargaining units.

Contributions - Article 9, Section 24 of the state of Michigan constitution requires thatfinancial benefits arising on account of employee service rendered in each year befunded during that year. Accordingly, the board of trustees retains an independentactuary to determine the annual contribution. The actuarially determined rate is theestimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by plan membersduring the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.Contribution requirements of plan members are established and may be amended bythe board of trustees in accordance with the city ordinance, union contracts, and planprovisions. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the active members were notrequired to contribute to the System. The City is required to contribute at an actuariallydetermined rate. In accordance with the actuary recommendation, the City did not haveto make a contribution to the System in the current year. Administrative costs arefinanced through investment earnings.

Pension Plan Investments - Policy and Rate of Return

Investment Policy - The System’s policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets isestablished and may be amended by the board of trustees by a majority vote of itsmembers. It is the policy of the board of trustees to pursue an investment strategy thatmanages risk through the prudent diversification of the portfolio across a broadselection of distinct asset classes. The System’s investment policy discourages the use ofcash equivalents, except for liquidity purposes, and aims to refrain from dramaticallyshifting asset class allocations over short time spans. The following was the board’sadopted asset allocation policy as of December 31, 2014:

Asset Class Target Allocation

Domestic equity - Large cap 25.00%Domestic equity - Mid cap 20.00%Domestic equity - Small cap 10.00%International equity 15.00%Fixed-income - Domestic investment grade 20.00%Fixed-income - High yield 5.00%Private equity 5.00%Cash or cash equivalents 0.00%

Note 3 - Pension Plan (Continued)

Rate of Return - For the year ended December 31, 2014, the annual money weightedrate of return net of expenses on System investments was 6.76 percent. The moneyweighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense,adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.

Pension Plan Reserves

In accordance with state law, the following reserves are required to be set aside withinthe pension plan:

The retiree reserve is to be computed annually by the actuary as the present value ofestimated benefit payments for all current retirees. The amounts reserved may be usedsolely to pay monthly retiree benefit payments. The reserve is funded by actuariallydetermined transfers from the employer.

The employee reserve is credited as employee contributions are received throughoutthe year; the System maintains a record of the amount contributed by each employee,and credits interest annually at a rate of 4.0 percent. For any employee who terminatesbefore vesting in the pension plan, their balance is returned to them; for those who stayuntil retirement, the balance is transferred into the retiree reserve.

The balances of the reserve accounts at December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Required Reserve

Balance

Retiree reserve $ 248,903,028Employee reserve 960,517

Net Pension Asset of the City

The net pension asset of the City of Pontiac has been measured as of December 31,2014 based on benefits in force as of that date and is composed of the following:

Total pension liability $ 270,151,934Plan fiduciary net position 491,726,795

City's net position asset $ (221,574,861)

Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage of the total pension asset %182.02

City of Pontiac General Employees' Retirement System

Notes to Financial StatementsDecember 31, 2014

Note 3 - Pension Plan (Continued)

Actuarial Assumptions - The total pension liability was determined by an actuarialvaluation as of December 31, 2013, which used update procedures to roll forward theestimated asset to December 31, 2014. The valuation used the following actuarialassumptions applied to all periods included in the measurement:

Inflation 4.5 %Salary increases 5.6-9.4 % Average, including inflationInvestment rate of return 7.5 % Net of pension plan investment

expense, including inflation

Mortality rates were based on the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality Table.

Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed thatemployee contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that City ofPontiac contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuariallydetermined contribution rates and the employee rate.

Projected Cash Flows

Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected tobe available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactiveemployees. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension planinvestments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine thetotal pension liability.

The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determinedusing a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future realrates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation)are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce thelong-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of returnby the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Bestestimates of arithmetic real rates of return as of December 31, 2014 for each majorasset class included in the pension plan's target asset allocation, as disclosed in theinvestment note, are summarized in the following table:

The requirements of thisstatement will enhance comparability of financial statements among governments byrequiring measurement of certain assets and liabilities at fair value using a consistent andmore detailed definition of fair value and acceptable valuation techniques. Thisstatement also will enhance fair value application guidance and related disclosures inorder to provide information to financial statement users about the impact of fair valuemeasurements on a government’s financial position. GASB Statement No. 72 isrequired to be adopted for years beginning after June 15, 2015. The System is currentlyevaluating the impact this standard will have on the financial statements when adopted,during the System's year ending December 31, 2016.
